AND MANICURE SET.

Application filed March 9, 1922. Serial No. 542,405.

To alt whom it may concern Be it known that we, YVALTER L. Kenn andLizssiNo L. Kore, citizens of the United States, residing atlvlilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of \Visconsin, haveinvented a new and useful Combined anity and Manicure Set, oi which thefollowing is aspecification.

The object of our invention is to provide a compact, convenient andartistic case having conveniently arranged compartments for holdingvarious articles used in manicure and vanity sets, and to combine themin a single case. It is further our especial 11o object to provide acombination case of small size suitable for carrying in ladies purses,and to provide a novel combination of a nail butler securely afiixed ina novel manner to the bottom of the vanity case.

lVe attain these and other objects of our invention by the mechanismillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view ot the case with the top cover open;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Fig. 4 with the principaltoilet articles in place in the case;

Fig. 3 .is a similar section, but with the toilet articles removed;

Fig. at is a side elevation, partly in section, with the butter coverremoved and showing the means -for attaching the buffer to the vanitycase;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view oil the princi- 3-5 pal toilet articlescombined in the case; and

Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view of the powder cake and paper holderfor same.

Like numerals designate like parts in each of the several views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, we provide a case 1, to thebottom portion 25 of which is suitably aflined a buffer. This bufiferpreferably consists of a metal buffer plate 2 attired in some suitablemanner, preterably 'by screws 3, to the bottom 25 at each end of theease. The butler base 2 carries a suitable padded chamois or othersuitable manicure butter 4t. Case 1 has an encircling recessed portion 6irictionally engaging the buEer cover 5, which is provided with oppositesmall integral catches 23 to positively prevent cover 5 from workingloose, the outer surface of the buffer cover 5 and the main portion ofthe case 1 being aligned.

Vi e provide a suitable rouge pad 8 and powder pad 9 mounted on oppositeends of the case 1, said pads being packed in suitable containers 16.preferably oi paper. For the purpose of holding a nail polish container10, we provide upstanding clips 1.1 and 12 formed by turning up portionsof the bottom member 25 ot case 1. We further provide the series ofupstanding spaced clips lt suitably spaced apart to receive and hold aseries of three cylindrical toilet articles, such as the lip stick andeye brow pencils 13 shown in the accompanying drawings.

I We provide a hingedly mounted partition 17 shaped to "form a cover forthe toilet articles 10 and 13, while not extending' over or interferingwith the use of the pulls 15 at each end of the case. lVe provide aprotective cover 18. Both cover 18 and partition 17 are mounted on case1 by a common hinge 20, as shown in Fig. 1. Cover 18 is provided with asuitable integrally formed snap catch 22, as shown. Secured within cover18 by suitable means, such as the steel plate or ring 26, we provide amirror 19. Sufficient space to form a separate compartment betweenpartition 17 and the protective cover 18 is afforded, within whichcompartment a nail file 21 or any other fiat toilet accessory may beplaced. Case 1 is provided with a circular recessed portion 27 toreceive the cover 18 so that when closed the outer surface of case 1 andcovers 18 and 5 will all be aligned to form a compact and attractivecombination case.

The manner of using the device will be apparent from the accompanyingdrawings, the cover 5 being readily removable for permitting use of thenail butler independently of the use of other articles in the case; andthe cover 18 may be opened independently of the cover 5 to permit accessto the powder and rouge pufis 15; and the partition 1*? may also beopened to afford access to the less frequently used articles within thevanity set.

Our arrangement of securing the buffer to the vanity case provides aneiiicient and compact combination article which we believe will bepractically indispensable to the modern lady.
